Jody, I talked to DMS earlier today. Turns out there are no part numbers for the tie rods; you buy the whole rack and tie rods as a unit. Only you cannot buy them any more. Delta has a local rebuilder in Phoenix who will refurbish a rack, but you have to send it to them and wait for the rebuild; takes several weeks. They don't have any in stock to do an exchange, which I guess they used to do. Seems a horribly expensive way to replace (rebuild) a pair of inner tie rods. So we're trying to get enough information to see if there is an alternative strategy, thus the question about the OEM.
